Bonfire Night

Autumn is a time when I suddenly realise that I have to replenish my stock of cozy knitted accessories, regardless of the fact that I have plenty of hats and scarves and whatnot to keep me warm. This quick cabled cowl works up in a matter of hours, so it's perfect for unexpected cold snaps, last minute holiday presents, or the conviction that nothing you already have is suitable. Tubular cast on and bind off ensure perfectly matching edges, and the thick cable takes advantage of super bulky yarn to make a snuggly neck warmer you'll wear everywhere. Pattern includes a chart or written stitch pattern instructions.

Skills needed: Knitting, purling, cabling, tubular cast on and tubular bind off. Gauge: 17 sts/18 rounds over 4 in/10 cm in cable pattern.
